I'm not saying that all eyesight issues stop you from using VR, I'm saying theirs do. This is not theoretical, they have tested it.

Did you miss that I said one of them is blind in one eye? What glasses fix this?

One with a strong prescription. If you are fully blind in one eye you can still use VR. You will just see monoscopic just as you do outside of VR.

No it doesn't work like that. I'm amblyopic. I only have like 10 or 20% visual capacity on my right eye. Using those devices suck even more than a 3D movie.

Even if you close an eye entirely VR still works. I don't understand what your point is. If your eye only has 10 to 20% clarity than VR headsets are already clear enough that your right eye can't see a difference in clarity between real life and VR.
